ABSTRACT
Nitrogen (N) fertilizer acts as the main driving force for agricultural productivity improvement. However, overuse of N fertilizer has caused severe effects to environment and ecosystem. Thus, it is pivotal to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for future sustainable agriculture. Agronomic traits response to N are significant indices for NUE phenotyping. For example, tiller number, grain number per panicle, and grain weight are three major components for cereal yields. Although regulatory mechanisms regarding to these three traits have been largely reported, few is known about how N affects them. Tiller number is one of the most sensitive traits response to N and also plays a key role for N-promoted yield improvement. It is thereby of great significance to dissect the genetic basis underlying tillering response to N. In this review, we summarize the factors contributing to NUE as well as the regulatory mechanisms over rice tillering and emphasize how N affects rice tillering, future research directions are also discussed for further improving NUE.
